1 John 1:8-2:2 — Legacy Standard Bible

⁸^aIf we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the ^btruth is not in us. ⁹^aIf we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and ^bto cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰^aIf we say that we have not sinned, we ^bmake Him a liar and ^cHis word is not in us.

Jesus Christ Our Advocate

2^aMy little children, I am ^bwriting these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, ^cwe have an ¹^,^dAdvocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; ²and He Himself is ^athe ¹propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also ^bfor those of the whole world.
